Entrepreneur, speaker, and author. Joe Delfgauw has been building businesses since 1996, and he writes about personal development the same way he builds companies: honestly, and only about things he has actually lived through.
The short version
Joe Delfgauw started building businesses in 1996 and never really stopped. Six physical call centers in Grand Rapids, Michigan grew into a lead exchange, a suite of marketing software, and a list of other ventures. Somewhere in those decades he realized the same clear-eyed attention he pointed at broken businesses was worth pointing at the parts of life most people leave on autopilot. So he started writing.
The 60/20 Relationship Rule is the first result: a short, direct book about building a relationship that actually lasts, written by someone who got it wrong enough times to have something real to say. It is the beginning of a personal-development series built the same way, honest and practical, one quick read at a time.
Joe did not write these books because he had life figured out. He wrote them because he did not, and writing is how he works a problem until it stops being mysterious. That is the whole spirit of the series.
Beyond the books
The writing is one side of what Joe does. Here is the rest of it.
Joe speaks at conferences and company events on entrepreneurship, the lead business, and the frameworks behind his books.
He publishes articles and working notes on building companies, and teaches online as Joey Matterhorn.
